Words by Ngoc Minh Ngo
The beauty and extraordinary history of the rose is celebrated through stunning photography of famous gardens throughout the world, from England and Italy to Morocco and Japan.
No other floral genus has greater variety and enticement than the rose. They blossom in an endless variety of shapes and a surprising spectrum of colors; their perfume is ineffable. After three thousand years of cultivation, the rose continues to seduce. Through various locations spanning the globe, this book explores both the nature and culture of the rose, celebrating its beauty, history, and the horticultural art it has inspired.
Acclaimed photographer and writer Ngoc Minh Ngo showcases the queen of flowers through a curated list of preeminent gardens in England, France, Italy, Spain, Morocco, and Japan, as well as the US. Each garden, like its roses, has a unique personality, which is captured through the author’s prose and camera lens, highlighting the delight and seduction of this unique flower. Ninfa, outside of Rome and considered the most romantic garden in the world, is documented in all of its beauty in the springtime, while the Rose Garden of Sakura, Japan, is best seen in early summer. With extraordinary gardens in eleven locations, Roses in the Garden is a dazzling tour of the history and glory of the rose through its most beautiful homes.

Sudpsuez Francois Halard: Art and Flowers
Words by Francois Halard
The master photographer’s compelling images of his two most intimate passions: art and flowers.
“His photography has an innate capacity to evoke emotion and tell stories that linger in the mind long after the image is seen,” writes Dries Van Noten in the foreword to this two-volume series of images.
Long revered for his personal photography of the world’s most celebrated buildings and interiors, Halard strikes a new path with two new bodies of work. Confined to his house in Arles after a shoulder injury in early 2024, Halard began photographing the objects immediately surrounding him with his Polaroid camera. In turns traditional and abstract, the Flowers series is a captivating exploration of nature’s beauty. As beautifully described by fashion designer Dries Van Noten, “The Polaroid captures a fleeting moment, blossoming into a lasting memory, while the real flower, vibrant and alive, ultimately withers away, reminding us that beauty can be both preserved and ephemeral.”
In the second series, Art, Halard has enlarged a select number of his Polaroids, which he then worked on top with paint, wax, and other materials to give the final results a strong, layered sense of history and memory. Many of the images are made of ancient statuaries or details of Renaissance paintings from Italy and Greece—the tight crop of a marble head, or the folds of 15th-century drapery. “I am delving into the idea that antiquity can be modern,” Halard states in his interview with art curator Bice Curiger, “I like to start with a specific object to turn it into another, transitory object.” Halard’s transformation of the ephemeral into the permanent, in the case of his flowers; and the permanent into the ephemeral, in the case of his Classical-inspired artworks—give power and beauty to these compelling images.

Sudpsuez Handmade in India
Words by Aditi Ranjan & M.P. Ranjan
Daily life in India is enriched by a colorful profusion of handmade goods, crafted with simple tools by artisans rooted in local traditions. From the richly embroidered gabba rugs of Kashmir to the polished metal mirrors of Kerala, and from the turned-wood vases of Gujarat to the coiled-cane hats of Arunachal Pradesh, the range of Indian handicrafts is as rich and varied as the country’s culture and geography.
Handmade in India is the first book to explore the entire spectrum of Indian crafts, state by state and district by district. The product of extensive fieldwork, it covers all aspects of India’s regional traditions: their historical, social, and cultural context; design and production processes; and markets old and new. Thousands of color photographs show the artisans at work, their tools, and their finished products. The broad geographic scope allows the reader to appreciate not only the astonishing diversity of Indian crafts, but also the variations (sometimes subtle, sometimes surprising) in the same craft as practiced in different regions.
This beautifully illustrated volume is an indispensable reference for product and textile designers, artists, architects, interior designers, development professionals, and collectors alike.

Sudpsuez The Art of Native American Washoe Basketry
Words by Ann M. Wolfe
This large-scale book presents breathtaking Native American basketry made by the Washoe people who have lived in the Lake Tahoe region of California and Nevada for millennia.
This book explores fine art and functional basketry made by Washoe weavers, who are recognized for their intricate and meticulous weaving techniques and complex designs. Drawing inspiration and natural materials from their ancestral homelands, Washoe baskets reflect the deep cultural reverence of their makers for the environment, particularly the sacred site of Lake Tahoe, the surrounding Sierra Nevada, and adjacent valleys. Among Washoe weavers, Louisa Keyser, also known as Datsolalee, is widely regarded as one of the most innovative, important, and famous basketmakers in North America. The book provides a deeper understanding of the cultural, historical, and political contexts in which these remarkable baskets were created, making it an essential read for anyone interested in Indigenous art and culture.

Sudpsuez The Art of Tapestry
Words by Helen Wyld
Woven with dazzling images from history, mythology and the natural world, and breath-taking in their craftsmanship, tapestries were among the most valuable and high-status works of art available in Europe from the medieval period to the end of the eighteenth century. Over 600 historic examples hang in National Trust properties in England and Wales – the largest collection in the UK.
This beautifully illustrated study by tapestry expert Helen Wyld, in association with the National Trust, offers new insights into these works, from the complex themes embedded in their imagery, to long-forgotten practices of sacred significance and ritual use. The range of historical, mythological and pastoral themes that recur across the centuries is explored, while the importance of the 'revival' of tapestry from the late nineteenth century is considered in detail for the first time. Although focussed on the National Trust's collection, this book offers a fresh perspective on the history of tapestry across Europe.
Both the tapestry specialist and the keen art-history enthusiast can find a wealth of information here about woven wall hangings and furnishings, including methods of production, purchase and distribution, evolving techniques and technologies, the changing trends of subject matter across time, and how tapestries have been collected, used and displayed in British country houses across the centuries.
